5851. Stevie Wonder - I Just Called To Say I Love You
 |
| From: The Woman in Red (Soundtrack); Year: 1984; Genre: R&B/Motown |
After having this famous track from Stevie Wonder running through my mind I was pondering just how many songs about the telephone/and or a phone call there are out there? I cannot begin to count honestly; must be the whole intimacy of talking to someone important whilst at the same time being a distance away, which is something most can do today, but roughly only in the last century and a half has it been possible. Heck, even when Stevie Wonder wrote this track an endless list of such songs already existed, but I will say that he made one for the ages and then some.
The overall schmaltz and sappiness of this love song really sells this one and puts it over the edge, of course that Latinesque Motown beat and the great music could most likely take it most of the way there.
